“The food is delicious and you get a plateful. The portions are larger than you think they would be. My customers are always surprised when their food comes to the table, they all comment on the portion sizes. It’s a big meal for less money. You can get more food than you can eat for $8 or $9. We’re happy to send home the leftovers.”

The restaurant has 92 spacious seats, and while there’s always a crowd at lunch at dinner, the kitchen staff are experts at serving quickly, getting customers back to work on time.

For Cobian, who came from Guadalajara, Mexico, 12 years ago, the restaurant is a labor of love featuring a personal touch.

When Cobian tried to order booths, he found they were back ordered for months. He took matters into his own hands and built 11 booths himself.

“They weren’t hard to build, it’s just plywood, but they’re stained and glossed to this highly polished finish.”

He’s proud of his handiwork, and the booths look like they were expertly made from hardwood.

The atmosphere is casual with authentic Mexican music and TVs tuned to ESPN. The restaurant boasts a five-star Yelp rating.

Cobian comes by the restaurant business honestly. His father owned a Mexican restaurant where Cobian worked since he was 12.

“You can say it’s in my blood. My father owned a restaurant serving Mexican food. It was very popular. I started working when I was 12 learning all I could about the restaurant business.”

Country Burrito is known for its portion sizes, but it’s also getting a reputation as the go-to place for margaritas. It’s happy hour all day long with two for the price of one at $4.99.

“We have a full bar with beer, wine, mixed drinks; and of course, margaritas.”

Cobian knows how to go with the flow, he’s already made large changes to the set-up of his restaurant.

“When we opened we had a buffet style similar to Salsarita’s, but we did away with that. If someone ordered from the menu while others ordered from the line, that person’s food would arrive later than everyone else. So, we did away with it, but you can still come up to the bar and order like fast food to take away.”

Cobian plans to change his menu in the next week, but burritos and Mexican style tacos of every flavor will always be on the menu.

“We are changing the menu, but we will always have Mexican tacos made to order $1.99 apiece. Customers can choose if they want chicken, steak, pork or shrimp.”

Country Burrito is open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.
